That will be caught, due to the fixed relationship between PID and IVs. But of course there's nothing to stop PokeSav changing the PID as well (though whether it has the feature I don't know). Pokesav has access to the entire save file, there's nowhere for any other data to 'hide'.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. But, you can reset the PIDs with PokeSav, so unless there is some further invisible data that hackers don't know of but Nintendo does, someone could use PokeSav to RNG their Pokemon. Ew...

There is I believe some data about Pokemon with an unknown purpose, which may be to help Nintendo's hack checks. But were its purpose and calculation discovered, the check would be defeated. It's like DRM - always going to be cracked, the question is when not if. From Nintendo's point of view, they only need reliable hack checks for a game until the next one comes out. It's possible the newer 4th gen games contain anti-hacking code the older ones don't, and that might be one reason VGC requires the latest games. (The others being the overt new features, and cynically to make people buy the new games).

I pegged it to be that Nintendo just wanted people to buy the new games; last year, before GSDS was released, Platinum was the game needed to play in the tourney, IIRC.

I guess maybe I DON'T have to worry too much about IV-hacked Pokemon versus RNG'd Pokemon then?
 
If I traded someone a Pokemon that I caught (non shiny) could they find my SID and PID? Forgive me if AR isn't allowed.
 
Does anyone know if there's a rebattle code for the Enigma Stone Lati@s in HGSS? I've searched all over the place and can't find anything.

I think you should pick either Revenge or Payback. I would try Revenge and Knock Off. Revenge and Payback are basically the same thing. Rest usually works pretty well. Are you goin to use him in singles or doubles?

Payback and Revenge serve totally different purposes. Payback hits ghosts and psychics extremely hard and without it they wall me/greatly threaten me. Revenge is an option for his main STAB.

Knock Off is a great move, but serves completely different purposes than Payback.

Rest is setup bait in most cases.

I play only in singles, if I were using the build for doubles I would be sure to mention it.
 
I'd welcome some advice on the Hariyama I'm building. I already know the general build I want,

adaman
tthick fat
448 HP
309 atk
201 def
-
219 sp.def
-

I haven't done the calculations for the exact EVs, but it's using all 107 points. I haven't decided upon the moveset yet. He is built for sp.def and a leftovers HP number. He is adamant for the 12 extra points it provides over careful. The general moveset I have in mind is,


-leftovers
revenge
payback
bulk up
rest

Close Combat does incredible damage without Revenge's limitation, but defeats the purpose of so much defensive investment.
Brick Break is I assume doing much less damage in the long run.

I'd like him to take physical hits a bit better than he currently does. Rest feels like a gamble until I can test it.

The underlying purpose of the build is soaking fire, ice, rock, dark, and bug attacks. And with these stats he can survive a max sp.atk modest Alakazam psychic.

Would Knock Off and Close Combat be better for my purposes? Counter? Rest talk?

Important question! I need to know the exact events that:
A) remove the trainers from in front of Canalave City
and B) remove the Rocket Grunts from the path through Mt. Mortar to Snowpoint City right next to the Celestic Town entrance
There could be a reward for correct answers in the near future


If they are using cheats, yes, otherwise no, it would have to be shiny.

As far as A goes, don't really know what you are talking about. Sorry :P And for B, Mt Mortar and Team Rocket are from Johto, but Snowpoint City amd Celestic town are in Sinnoh. Maybe some clarification could be helpful?
 
I have two questions:

1) What's the max Sheen level and Beauty level on a Pokemon?

2) I obtained a HG/SS 10th Anniversary Mew the other night from a user online and now I'm having second thoughts on if it's real or not. I say this because I need a Pokemon from my Platinum version and I traded a wild Pidgey that I had in my box in my HeartGold version. When I traded the Pidgey over, I wondered if it was would say it was Kanto, but it did not, it said "Faraway Place."

Now, my question is this: the Mew that I obtained does not say it's from a Faraway Place but is only obtainable in HG/SS versions as it's an exclusive HG/SS event only Pokemon. In the location spot it says "Wi-Fi Gift" and since it doesn't say "Faraway Place" like it did for the Pidgey I sent over, I'm wondering if it's hacked due to the location information. Shouldn't the Mew say "Faraway Place" as well since it's coming from HG/SS? Or perhaps that doesn't include for the event Pokemon. Oh and also the Mew is in my Diamond version now, but it still says "Wi-Fi Gift" rather "Faraway Place" or maybe it says that on there no matter it being on Diamond, Pearl or Platinum versions.

Thanks in advance to whoever can give me full and detailed answers to my questions.

Well, my event Jirachi says it's from "Pokemon Event" in SS, even though it was downloaded in Platinum. Similarly, the PBR Electivire and Magmortar are from "Lovely Place," and they were originally dled on Diamond. So I don't think that's proof that the Mew is illegit.

A) remove the trainers from in front of Canalave City
and B) remove the Galactic Grunts from the path through Mt. Mortar to Snowpoint City right next to the Celestic Town entrance

Alright, thanks. I have the guidebook to Platinum, but still am not sure what you are talking about (haven't played Platinum in a while). If you still dont't know by tommorow, PM me and we can figure it out :)

I guess it would be the trigger to enter Canalave City and the trigger to either acquire the Defog HM or enter Snowpoint City, but I really don't know
